Exchange 2013/2016 coexistance OWA not working externally
Investigate who removed the exchange server forwarding address from the mailbox
Exclude OU from Global Address List
I am hoping someone can help me here.
I have been asked to import a lot (like 500-600) pager email addresses as Contacts into our Exchange 2013 environment.
That is easy and I have no issue with that.
What I want to do is exclude the pagers email addresses from the Global Address Book. I don't want to hide them from all address lists as I want to create a separate address list for the Pagers OU (which I have already done).
I create a new global address book with the command:
new-globaladdresslist -recipientfilter {recipientcontainer -ne 'domain.com/Pagers'} -name GALTEST2
set-globaladdresslist "GALTEST2"
I still see the pagers in the GAL both on my Outlook client (2016 in online mode" as well as OWA.
What am I missing here? All help is appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Jeff

Outlook does not connect to Exchange 2013
Dear Forum,
Something truly strange. I have an exchange hosted on Hyper-v. After a reboot and some updates, the outlook client can no longer connect to the server every client get immediately prompt for username and password and no matter what you enter prompt will reappear and causing you not to be able to open outlook.
Users can connect via OWA
I installed and outlook on the exchange server and that one connects without an issue.
I tested the https://testconnectivity.microsoft.com and I get : An HTTP 401 Unauthorized response was received from the remote Unknown server. This is usually the result of an incorrect username or password.
Any Ideas. I cannot check which protocol is being used on the client because the connection appears to never establish. Therefore the trick of using the control key and checking connection setting will not work.
Than you in advance.

I was running exchange 2016 CU 8 and then I upgraded to CU 10 and i still have the same issue?
I strongly suspect this is the reason my exchange server needs to be rebooted EVERY HOUR! as it just stops receiving emails!
Please help me i'm desperate!!!
journal
Hi guys.
After you enable journal on exchange database what exactly does it do? Does it take all mailboxes of current database and make a copy of all the items of mailboxes stored in that exchange database or does it start doing for any future items after that moment when you enable journal. We would like to avoid exchange db to grow fast because journal mailbox would start making copies of all the items that are already in mailboxes stored in db.

Remove wrong address entrys for contacts in bulk
Hello,
I've got the task to remove wrong smtp entrys from our mail contacts in the GAL. These wrong entrys were created due to a incorrect configured EmailAddressPolicy. This point has already been fixed. I could do it via ECP but editing 500+ contacts with the
GUI is a pretty time consuming task and I'd like to try to it with PowerShell. The wrong entrys are like this LastName@domain.com and FirstName.LastName@domain.com. The other two correct entrys have the same domain ending. So the option to go by wrong domain
name is out. I've tried to get the FirstName and the LastName from the cmdlet Get-Contact and put into a string array and then trim all the wrong characters that aren't needed. The trimming of the characters didn't work. So I wanted to ask if there is a way
to get the Properties FirstName and LastName with the cmdlet Get-Contact that they match the smpt-entrys that are going to be changed with the cmdlet Set-MailContact -EmailAddresses @remove{}
[string[]]$name= Get-Contact -Identity "Sample, User" | Select LastName [string[]]$reversedName = Get-Contact -Identity "Sample, User" | Select LastName, FirstName for($c=0; $c -lt $names.Count;$c++) { $name[$c].Trim("LastName=") $reversedName[$c].Trim("FirstName=","LastName=" ) Set-MailContact -EmailAddresses @{remove=$name + "@domain.com", $reversedName + "@domain.com"} }
With kind regards,

Renewing Self-signed SHA1 cert with SHA256?
Hi,
Exchange 2013 server with Self-signed cert will expire in a month.
This was originally issued 4 years ago as a SHA1 cert.
Exchange is now above CU13 so supports SHA256 certs.
If we click the 'renew' option in the EAC will it renew this as SAH1 again or automatically re-issue as SHA256.
We need to remove SHA1 for compliance.
Many Thanks.

Exchange 2016 CU10: New-MailboxExportRequest with ContentFilter doesn't work
I run command:
$Date1=(Get-Date).AddMonths(-1)
New-MailboxExportRequest -ContentFilter {(Received -lt $Date1) -or (Sent -lt $Date1)} …
in .pst file I get all e-mails, but I want only olders than one month (Get-Date).AddMonths(-1).
Is it a bug in PowerShell command? Or how to use other command to get the same result?
Thank you for help in advance!

It looks like mail.que never delete emails which exceeded SafetyNetHoldTime limit. I've checked queue and there is no retryable user email. There is shadow queue which can grow up to 70, but then it drops to 0.
The only thing that confused me is that i have 1-4 mails in submission queue in retry status all the time. I've checked one of them:

But same messages exist on mbox, which is not part of DAG and mail.que doesnt grow there so fast.
I cant manually recreate mail.que folder every week. Anyone had same problem? Please help.
Exchange Certificate issue
We have an Exchange 2013 server that is setup in an O365 hybrid environment. This server is also used as a relay for our internal systems such as scanners and other reporting systems. We stopped receiving emails from these systems last night.
I discovered this morning that a certificate had expired on the server so I am assuming that is the issue. However, there is another certificate on the server that has not expired that is tied to the same services as the expired cert.
I am unable to uncheck the services on the expired cert as the check boxes for SMTP,IMAP, and POP are grayed out.
Should I just delete the expired cert?
PowerShell Script - Public Folder Permissions Modification
Hello,
I have the following Public Folder permissions:
Identity User Access Rights
\Test Folder 1 Default None
\Test Folder 2 Default PublishingAuthor/CreateItems etc.
I would like a PS script to perform the following:
Does the PF have Default with None = Do Nothing
Does the PF have Default with anything other than None = Change Default permission to None and Add a Security Group with the existing assigned Default permission. The result would be:
Identity User Access Rights
\Test Folder 1 Default None
\Test Folder 2 Default None
Group PublishingAuthor/CreateItems etc.
Also I would like to be able to test this prior to rolling it out
Thanks in advance.
Best way to change Outlook Anywhere from Basic to NTLM authentication?
whats the easiest way to do this without having to recreate profiles.
I tried just making the change on the server and then the clients seem to get prompted for their password every time they open Outlook.
Uploading from OST to Exchange server
So our exchange server got corrupted and now it has lost 3-4 days of emails.
People still have their emails in their local cached OST files.
How can we upload the files in the OST to exchange so that it is complete.
Is there 3rd party software that can achieve this or something in Outlook??
